Unfortunately, his seat was in the last row in the corner of the stadium. He was closer to the Goodyear Blimp than the stadium.<\/p>\n<p>He noticed an empty seat 10 rows up from the 50-yard line and decided to make his way there. As he sits down he asks the man next to him if anyone is sitting there.<\/p>\n<p>The man told him no, it was empty.<\/p>\n<p>John is very excited to have a seat like this at a Super Bowl and asks why in the world no one is using it?<\/p>\n<p>The man replied that it was his wife&#8217;s seat but she recently passed away.
